(CNN) - A Utah woman unwittingly started a grassroots campaign when an e-mail she sent to her five children and a handful of friends urging a day of prayer and fasting for Mitt Romney started making the Mormon rounds.

“A lot of my frustration is because I feel I don’t know what to do to really make a change.

That he will be blessed in the debates,” the first of which is next Wednesday.
